Drawing inspiration from the likes of Iris van Herpen and Francis Bitonti, Panamanian fashion student Nadir Gordon Gordon has crafted an unbelievably gorgeous 3D-printed bathing suit that fuses sculpture and fashion with… a loofah ball? He describes the project, entitled “Waves,” as “almost impossible to construct with fabrics and the traditional ways of creating a garment.” and “an experiment that defies the paradigm that dictates the way a garment should be built.” Which is artspeak for “really futuristic stuff, you wouldn’t understand.”
Via the Creator Project:
At the moment, Waves is just a prototype. “It’s easy to move in it, but it’s not functional to be worn daily,” she admits. The design looks like a one piece suit, but it’s actually a 14-piece, a unit that only really makes sense in the world 3D-printed clothing. Each part had to be made on a standard MakerBot and soldered together, which can lead to the occasional breakage. But damn if it doesn’t look awesome.
